Ornament Kit - Dragonflies - Makes 6

Create six shimmering dragonflies that are beautiful enough to enjoy throughout the year, not just at Christmas. Sparkling Crystal AB beads, silvery craft wire and clear seed beads with reflective silver linings form delicate, light-catching wings, while three eye colours give the finished set added variety. Dragonflies are often associated with hope and protection, making these graceful ornaments especially meaningful as handmade gifts, window decorations or sparkling additions to your Christmas tree.

Each kit includes:

• Silvery craft wire.

• Jewellery-quality crystal beads selected for their beautiful shine.

• Clear seed beads with silvery linings for the dragonfly wings.

• Easy-to-follow illustrated instructions.

Approx. size of each ornament: 4 in. (10 cm) from top to bottom.
Tools needed: Ruler, wire cutters, chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, and ribbon, cord or ornament hangers for hanging the finished ornaments.
Approx. time to create: 30 minutes per ornament.
Experience needed: Straightforward to make, although threading the small seed beads takes a little time and patience.
